What's your favorite way to eat beans?

Ful medames. When it's spiced well, it's kinda magic.

Also: in a burrito.

Chili con carne

on tacos, followed by over cornbread, next most favorite as a dip, then over rice, then in stews (including chili), and then in soups. After that, maybe ground up into patties and fried?

cassoulet. So much so that I've started soaking beans after reading this and before posting.

Burritos are pretty fucking good. Chilli over rice gets second place.

Love beans! Seasoned and roasted with veggies, mashed and made into patties and fried/baked, in soups, in dips like hummus - all delicious!

in moderation.

I usually eat beans with a spoon. Sometimes I even use my teeth.

I was raised Rural and Poor.

Thus, it's Libby's Pork and Beans from the can served on toast. Mustard to taste.

I can only eat green beans (my body doesn't handle well other types). My favourite way to eat them is stir-fried, served with pork ramen; it's a bit laborious but it tastes amazing.

I also like to chop them into small bits and add to arroz de forno (dunno the English name - it's leftover rice mixed with other ingredients, then baked with a cheese and breadcrumbs crust).

I like boiling a bag of fresh soya beans and eating them plain while watching stuff.

Chana dal with aloo paratha (chickpea curry with potato filling stuffed in a fried bread) is probably my favourite beans based meal though.

Also as a brit, baked beans on hot (plant)buttery toast is very comforting on occasion.

Suriname Moksi Alesi black eye pesi.

Zoutvlees (salted beef) with black eyed beans, dried shrimp (or salted cod), Madame Jeanette peppers, cooked in rice and coconut milk. It's what's on the menu tonight.

One that I really like is navy beans cooked in chicken broth and rosemary, served pretty loose and creamy but not too soupy. We eat it with a side of lemony broiled broccoli, a poached egg, and topped with aioli.

It's true, beans are amazing winter food.

I make big batches and always try to have some ready for a quick meal when I get home.

Chili con carne, navy bean soup, Italian wedding bean soup, (other legumes) split pea soup with ham, lemon lentil soup with chicken

Baked beans with runny eggs sunny side up

Refried in a burrito or huevos rancheros.

I love to slowly simmer white beans for hours.

I made vegan white beans as a Thanksgiving side. Normally I'd add bacon fat or sausage, but to keep them vegan I used coconut oil. Lots of it. Plus lots of seasoning and a bunch of nutritional yeast. They were on low heat for like 3 or 4 hours

Got more compliments on those beans than I did any of my other sides.

Black beans sauté with wilted endives in a bit of olive oil. Salt, pepper, a hint of cumin, a splash of vinegar.

Chocolate ice cream!

Hear me out - butter beans with butter (or butter flavoured substitute) and teriyaki, maybe a splash of soy sauce or other umami. Heat till the butter melts, mix and cover the beans well, add to rice or have as its own thing. Sweat and savoury with an added richness, all in about 2 minutes. Nom.

Actually tinned beans (and other pulses!) + melty buttery-ness + flavouring is generally an easy to make winner. Black pepper and or garlic powder for something simple, add to those coriander paprika turmeric chilli for something a bit more interesting. Plop on a jacket potato or mix with rice and mince/strips/whatever meaty substitute for a full meal.

Tonight I'm having some in a curry (red kidney beans along with tinned corn, peas, and pineapple, with madras paste from a jar mixed with coconut milk, on rice with some chicken alternative).

I actually haven't had chilli for a long time, but now I know what ingredients to order for my next grocery delivery lol

Seven vegetable soup with a half a cup of black beans added, some grated parmesan and whatever hot sauce I am feeling at the moment. It never gets old.

Refried pinto, black, & red beans, tomatillo & chipotle smoked salsa, Brown rice, Cholula, extra sharp white cheddar, seasoned chopped white chicken & pulled pork (cumin, chile, paprika, garlic, black pepper & onion powder) and all whipped us for a dip with Chile & Lime Plantain chips.

Literally just finished a nuked bowl of that that I made yesterday.

Ranch Style cold right out of the can, just like nature intended.

Dip them in bread. Not common for you guys, but I like it.

Today with snow on the ground, I made 5-bean chili. So we think alike.

My favorite is probably Cuban style black beans. Runner-up would be an authentic Rajma Dal (kidney beans Indian style.)

I've been vegetarian for my entire life, so I eat a lot of beans and lentils.
